As always, those amazing people in the room said so much that helped me, I wanted to share it here in case it touches others as it did for me. I lead a meeting a few days after we recorded this episode on Serenity. I wanted to post a comment here rather then leave a voicemail so others can find this if they’re interested in the topic of serenity. Please call us at 73 or email with your questions or experience, strength and hope. What would you say to a newcomer who is living a life full of “agitation” with little or no serenity?.Do you think serenity is a state of being, or an attitude? Or a little of both?.“Exercising” spiritual “muscles” by working the steps, going to meetings, reading the literature, etc.What tools have you found for maintaining or restoring your serenity?. It does, however, give me … the necessary skills for maintaining peace of mind, even when life seems most unbearable.” “Al-Anon does not promise me freedom from pain, sorrow, or difficult situations. Rather it is the power to find peacefulness within life.” “The serenity I am offered in Al-Anon is not an escape from life. Do you recall experiencing serenity, perhaps briefly, as you started to work the program?.So much depends on our own attitudes, and as we learn to place our problem in its true perspective, we find it loses its power to dominate our thoughts and our lives.” It has helped many of us find solutions that lead to serenity. When you heard the Al-Anon suggested welcome, did these words make sense to you?.How did you act in ways that pushed serenity out of my life?.Did you think your whole life had to be “serene” in order for you to have personal serenity?.
